Spinaches buns for the freezer

In the recipe, further down this page, gives you about 10-12 buns depending on how big you make them.

If you are going to use the buns for your daily lunch, I will recommend you freeze them. That way, you can easily defrost the buns, as you need them. Heat them in the oven or on your toaster and you have the most delicious buns ready for breakfast or lunch.
